The Secret life of Alerting
It’s 2AM and your phone explodes with alerts. Is this noise? A misconfigured threshold? Or the start of a real outage?
Alerting systems are supposed to reduce uncertainty - yet too often they create more chaos than clarity. In this talk, we’ll uncover the hidden dynamics of alert fatigue, misaligned thresholds, missing context, and noisy monitoring.
You’ll learn how to design alerts that are actionable, trustworthy, and aligned with business impact - so when the next 2AM alert fires, you know exactly what to do.
Because the real secret of alerting isn’t more alerts - it’s better decisions.
